    Related Rulemaking Actions
    
        On May 21, 1970, the FAA published, in the Federal Register, the 
    Designation of Federal Airways, Controlled Airspace, and Reporting 
    Points Final Rule (35 FR 7782). This rule provided for the 
    establishment of Terminal Control Airspace (TCA) area (now known as 
    Class B airspace areas).
        On June 21, 1988, the FAA published, in the Federal Register, the 
    Transponder with Automatic Altitude Reporting Capability Requirement 
    Final Rule (53 FR 23356). This rule, in part, requires all aircraft to 
    have an altitude encoding transponder when operating within 30 nautical 
    miles (NM) of any designated TCA (now known as Class B airspace area) 
    primary airport from the surface up to 10,000 feet mean sea level 
    (MSL). This rule also provides an exclusion for those aircraft not 
    originally certificated with an engine-driven electrical system (or 
    those that have not subsequently been certified with such a system) 
    balloons, or gliders operating outside of the Class B airspace area, 
    but within 30 NM of the primary airport.
        On October 14, 1988, the FAA published, in the Federal Register, 
    the Terminal Control Area Classification and Terminal Control Area 
    Pilot and Navigation Equipment Requirements Final Rule (53 FR 40318). 
    This rule, in part, requires the pilot-in-command of a civil aircraft 
    operating within a TCA (now known as Class B airspace area) to hold at 
    least a private pilot certificate. Excepted from this requirement are 
    student pilots who have received certain documented training.
        On December 17, 1991, the FAA published, in the Federal Register, 
    the Airspace Reclassification Final Rule (56 FR 65638). This rule, in 
    part, discontinued the use of the term ``Terminal Control Area'' (TCA) 
    and replaced it with the designation ``Class B airspace area.'' This 
    change in terminology is reflected in the remainder of this final rule.
    
    Background
    
        The Class B airspace area program was developed to reduce the 
    potential for midair collision in the congested airspace surrounding 
    airports with high density air traffic operations by providing an area 
    wherein all aircraft are subject to certain operating rules and 
    equipment requirements.
        The density of traffic and the type of operations being conducted 
    in the airspace surrounding these major terminal areas increase the 
    probability of midair collisions. In 1970, an extensive study found 
    that the majority of midair collisions occurred between a general 
    aviation (GA) aircraft and an air carrier or military aircraft, or 
    another GA aircraft. The basic causal factor common to these conflicts 
    was the mix of aircraft operating in accordance with visual flight 
    rules (VFR) and aircraft operating under instrument flight rules (IFR). 
    Class B airspace areas provide a method to manage the increasing number 
    of IFR and VFR operations. The regulatory requirements of Class B 
    airspace areas afford the greatest protection for the greatest number 
    of people, by giving air traffic control the increased capability to 
    provide aircraft separation service.
        The standard configuration of a Class B airspace area contains 
    three concentric circles centered on the primary airport extending to 
    10, 20, and 30 NM, respectively. The standard vertical limit of these 
    airspace areas normally should not exceed 10,000 feet MSL with the 
    floor established at the surface in the inner area and at levels 
    appropriate to the containment of operations in the outer areas. 
    Variations of these criteria may be utilized contingent on the terrain, 
    adjacent regulatory airspace, and factors unique to the terminal area.
    
    Public Input
    
        On May 17, 1999, the FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
    (NPRM) in the Federal Register (64 FR 26705) proposing to modify 
    several subareas within the lateral boundaries of the existing Class B 
    airspace area; and modify the vertical limits of the Orlando Sanford 
    Airport Class D airspace area. The comment period for this proposed 
    rulemaking action closed on June 30, 1999.
        In response to the proposal, the FAA received four comments. All 
    comments received were considered before making a determination on this 
    final rule. An analysis of the comments and the Agency's response 
    follows.
    
    Discussion of Comments
    
        The FAA received three comments in favor of the planned 
    modifications to the Orlando Class B airspace area and the Orlando 
    Sanford Airport Class D airspace area which are as follows: the Orlando 
    Sanford Airport; the City of Sanford; and the Sanford Airport 
    Authority.
        The Air Line Pilots Association also commented in favor of the 
    planned modifications, but expressed concern that Area F to the west 
    and east does not appear to give protection to departures on a standard 
    rate of climb.
        The FAA believes that Area F to the west and east is adequately 
    designed to contain departures within the Class B airspace. Traffic 
    normally departs via runway 18L/R on a 200 deg. heading and, based on 
    the aircraft's performance, turned westbound on course. Aircraft 
    departing westbound must be out of 3,000 feet to turn in order to 
    ensure separation from aircraft operating at Kissimmee Airport. Traffic 
    departing eastbound can be transitioned to the north to remain in the 
    Class B airspace area.
    
    The Rule
    
        The FAA amends 14 CFR part 71 by modifying the Orlando Class B 
    airspace area, Orlando, FL, and the Orlando Sanford Airport Class D 
    airspace area, Sanford, FL. Specifically, this action modifies several 
    subareas within the lateral boundaries of the existing Class B airspace 
    area, and modifies the vertical limits of the Orlando Sanford Airport 
    Class D airspace area. The FAA is taking this action to enhance safety, 
    reduce the potential for midair collision, and to improve the 
    management of air traffic operations into, out of, and through the 
    Orlando terminal area. Additionally, this action corrects the 
    coordinates for the Orlando Sanford Airport. Specifically, this action
    
    [[Page 42587]]
    
    modifies the Orlando Class B airspace area as follows:
    
    Orlando Class B Airspace Area
    
        Area A. The size of Area A (that area beginning at the surface up 
    to 10,000 feet MSL) is reduced to a 5-mile radius of the primary 
    airport, Orlando International Airport. This airspace modification will 
    contain large turbojet aircraft within the limits of the Class B 
    airspace area while operating to and from the primary airport. In 
    addition, a portion of Area A beyond 5 NM is removed form the surface 
    area and reconfigured as Area B.
        Area B. Area B is reconfigured from a section of the surface area, 
    between the 5-mile radius of the primary airport, extending west to the 
    John Young Parkway, north to Lake Underhill Road, east to the Stanton 
    Power Plant, and south to the Orlando VORTAC 14 Distance Measuring 
    Equipment (DME), extending upward from 900 feet MSL. This modification 
    will support approach and departure procedures for aircraft 
    transitioning to and from the Orlando International Airport.
        Also, this airspace modification will allow Law Enforcement and 
    Lifeguard helicopter operations below the floor of the Class B airspace 
    area.
        Area C. The Floor of Area C will remain at 1,600 feet MSL north of 
    the Orlando Executive Airport; however, the lateral limits of Area C 
    are modified to extend north of Lake Underhill Road, south of S.R. 436, 
    east of S.R. 423 and S.R. 434, and extend 8 miles east of the Orlando 
    Executive Airport. This airspace modification will support approach 
    procedures for aircraft transitioning to the final approach course for 
    the Orlando International Airport.
        The floor of Area C is lowered from 3,000 to 1,600 feet MSL, 
    extending 3 miles to the north and south of the Orlando Sanford 
    Airport, east of the Wekiva River, and west of Lake Harney's eastern 
    shore. This airspace modification will support approach procedures for 
    large turbojet aircraft operations transitioning to and from the 
    Orlando Sanford Airport.
        In addition, the floor of Area C is raised from 1,500 to 1,600 feet 
    MSL, extending south of the Orlando VORTAC 14 DME arc, north of the 
    Orlando VORTAC 20 DME arc, and between 2 and 13 miles east of the 
    Kissimmee Airport. This airspace modification will support approach 
    procedures for aircraft transitioning to the final approach course for 
    the Orlando International Airport. This modification will also allow 
    nonparticipating aircraft sufficient airspace to conduct VFR operations 
    below the vertical limits of the Class B airspace area while 
    transitioning to/from secondary satellite airports.
        Area D. Area D is modified by raising the floor of the area 10 
    miles north of the Orlando International airport from 1,600 to 2,000 
    feet MSL, and the area southwest of the Orlando international Airport 
    from 1,500 to 2,000 feet MSL. This area extends between S.R. 423 and 
    Kirkman Road, 6 to 9 miles west of the primary airport, between 2 miles 
    north and 5 miles south of the Kissimmee Airport, and between 7 miles 
    and 11 miles north of the Orlando VORTAC. This airspace modification 
    will provide sufficient airspace modification will provide sufficient 
    airspace for sequencing and vectoring arriving and departing aircraft 
    in close proximity to the primary airport. It will also increase and 
    navigable airspace below the Class B airspace area in the vicinity of 
    Kissimmee Municiport Airport.
        Area E. The floor of Area E will remain at 3,000 feet MSL; however, 
    the lateral limits of Area E are expanded to the north and south . Area 
    E is extended 3 miles west of the Wekiva river, and between 3 to 6 
    miles north of the Orlando Sanford Airport. This airspace modification 
    will provide sufficient airspace for sequencing and vectoring aircraft, 
    and ensure that operations are contained within the Class B airspace 
    area.
        Area E is also extended between the 20-mile and 30-mile arcs south 
    of the primary airport, and between 7 miles and 15 miles east of the 
    primary airport. This airspace modification will provide sufficient 
    airspace for sequencing and vectoring aircraft, and will provide a 
    controlled environment for aircraft arriving and departing the Class B 
    airspace area.
        Area F. The subareas of the Class B airspace areas are reconfigured 
    as Area F, from 6,000 up to and including 10,000 feet MSL, extending 
    from 8 miles west of the primary airport to Highway 27. This airspace 
    modification will provide sufficient airspace to contain aircraft in a 
    controlled environment when transitioning between the en route and 
    terminal phase of flight.
        Area F is also modified from the power line located approximately 
    15 miles east of the primary airport, eastward, to the power line 
    located approximately 22 miles east of the primary airport. This 
    airspace modification will provide sufficient airspace to contain 
    aircraft in a controlled environment when transitioning between the en 
    route and terminal phase of flight.
    
    Orlando Sanford Airport Class D Airspace Area
    
        The Orlando Sanford Airport Class D airspace area is lowered from 
    3,000 to 1,600 feet MSL. The Orlando Sanford Airport Class D airspace 
    area will include a radius of 4.4 NM from the Orlando Sanford Airport 
    up to but not including 1,600 feet MDL. This airspace modification 
    coincides with lowering the floor of the Class B airspace area in the 
    vicinity of the Orlando Sanford Airport.
        The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
    American Datum 83. Class B and Class D airspace areas are published, 
    respectively, in paragraphs 3000 and 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9F, 
    Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 10, 1998, 
    and effective September 16, 1998, which is incorporated by reference in 
    14 CFR section 71.1. The Class B and Class D airspace areas listed in 
    this document will be subsequently published in this Order.
    
    Regulatory Evaluation Summary
    
        Changes to Federal Regulations must undergo several economic 
    analyses. First, Executive Order 12866 directs that each Federal agency 
    shall propose or adopt a regulation only upon a reasoned determination 
    that the benefits of the intended regulation justify its costs. Second, 
    the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) requires agencies to analyze the 
    economic effect of regulatory changes on small businesses and other 
    small entities. Third, the Office of Management and Budget directs 
    agencies to assess the effect of regulatory changes on international 
    trade. In conducting these analyses, the FAA has determined that this 
    rule: (1) Will generate benefits that justify its minimal costs and is 
    not a ``significant regulatory action'' as defined in the Executive 
    Order; (2) is not significant as defined in the Department of 
    Transportation's Regulatory Policies and Procedures; (3) will not have 
    a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities, (4) 
    will not constitute a barrier to international trade and (5) will not 
    contain any federal intergovernmental or private sector mandate. These 
    analyses are summarized here in the preamble, and the full Regulatory 
    Evaluation is in the docket.
        The FAA will modify the Orlando Class B and the Orlando Sanford 
    Airport Class D airspace areas. The Orlando Class B airspace area 
    modification will maintain the 10,000 feet MSL airspace ceiling and 
    redefine the lateral limits of several of the existing subareas to
    
    [[Page 42588]]
    
    improve the management of air traffic operations in the Orlando 
    terminal area. The Orlando Sanford Airport Class D airspace area 
    modification will lower the airspace area from 3,000 to 1,600 feet MSL 
    and will include a radius of 4.4 NM from the Orlando Sanford Airport up 
    to but not including 1,600 feet MSL.
        The FAA has determined that the modification of the Orlando Class B 
    and the Orlando Sanford Airport Class D airspace areas will improve the 
    operational efficiency while maintaining aviation safety in the 
    terminal areas. Also, clearer boundary definition and changes to 
    lateral and vertical limits of the subareas will leave additional 
    noncontrolled airspace for VFR aircraft transitioning to and from 
    satellite airports. This rule will impose negligible or no additional 
    cost on airspace users and will potentially reduce circumnavigation 
    costs to some operators.
        The final rule will result in no additional administrative or 
    operational cost for personnel and equipment to the agency. Printing of 
    aeronautical charts which reflect the changes to the Class B and Class 
    D airspace areas will be accomplished during a scheduled chart 
    printing, and will result in no additional costs for plate modification 
    and updating of charts. Furthermore, no staffing changes will be 
    required to maintain the modified Class B and Class D airspace area. 
    Potential increase in FAA operations workload can be absorbed by 
    current personnel and equipment.
        In view of the negligible cost of compliance, enhanced aviation 
    safety, and improved operational efficiency, the FAA has determined 
    that the final rule will be cost-beneficial.
    
    Final Regulatory Flexibility Determination
    
        The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 establishes ``as a principle 
    of regulatory issuance that agencies shall endeavor, consistent with 
    the objective of the rule and of applicable statutes, to fit regulatory 
    and informational requirements to the scale of the business, 
    organizations, and governmental jurisdictions subject to regulation.'' 
    To achieve that principal, the Act requires agencies to solicit and 
    consider flexible regulatory proposals and to explain the rationale for 
    their actions. The Act covers a wide-range of small entities, including 
    small businesses, not-for-profit organizations and small governmental 
    jurisdictions.
        Agencies must perform a review to determine whether a proposed or 
    final rule will have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
    number of small entities. If the determination is that it will, the 
    agency must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis as described in 
    the Act.
        However, if an agency determines that a proposed or final rule is 
    not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
    number of small entities, section 605(b) of the 1980 act provides that 
    the head of the agency may so certify and an RFA is not required. The 
    certification must include a statement providing the factual basis for 
    this determination, and the reasoning should be clear.
        The FAA has determined that the final rule will have a de minimus 
    impact on small entities. All commercial and general aviation operators 
    who presently use the Orlando International Airport are equipped to 
    operate within the modified Class B airspace area. As for aircraft that 
    regularly fly through the Orlando Sanford Airport Class D airspace 
    area, since the airport is situated within the established Orlando Mode 
    C Veil, all aircraft should already have the necessary equipment to 
    transition the modified Class B airspace area. Therefore, there will be 
    no additional equipment cost to these entities.
        Accordingly, pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 
    605(b), the Federal Aviation Administration certifies that this rule 
    will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
    small entities.
    
    International Trade Impact Assessment
    
        The final rule will not constitute a barrier to international 
    trade, including the export of U.S. goods and services to foreign 
    countries or the import of foreign goods and services into the United 
    States.
    
    Unfunded Mandates Assessment
    
        Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (the Act), 
    enacted as Pub. L. 104-4 on March 22, 1995, requires each Federal 
    agency, to the extent permitted by law, to prepare a written assessment 
    of the effects of any Federal mandate in a proposed or final agency 
    rule that may result in the expenditure of $100 million or more (when 
    adjusted annually for inflation) in any one year by State, local, and 
    tribal governments in the aggregate, or by the private sector. Sector 
    204(a) of the Act, 2 U.S.C. 1534(a), requires the Federal agency to 
    develop an effective process to permit timely input by elected officers 
    (or their designees) of State, local, and tribal governments on a 
    proposed ``significant intergovernmental mandate.'' A ``significant 
    intergovernmental mandate'' under the Act is any provision in a Federal 
    agency regulation that will impose an enforceable duty upon State, 
    local, and tribal governments in the aggregate of $100 million 
    (adjusted annually for inflation) in any one year. Section 203 of the 
    Act, 2 U.S.C. 1533, which supplements section 204(a), provides that, 
    before establishing any regulatory requirements that might 
    significantly or uniquely affect small governments, the agency shall 
    have developed a plan, which, among other things, must provide for 
    notice to potentially affected small governments, if any, and for a 
    meaningful and timely opportunity for these small governments to 
    provide input in the development of regulatory proposals.
        This final rule does not contain any Federal intergovernmental or 
    private sector mandates. Therefore, the requirements of Title II of the 
    Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 do not apply.
    
    Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
    3507(d)) there are no requirements for information collection 
    associated with this rule.
